Back in March of 2016, Kristin chose to go to Thailand with a good friend. Little did she know that trip would change her life forever... On that trip she met her future in-laws and multiple of their close friends. She spent the next two weeks getting to know them while they travelled through Thailand. Ryan's parents and their friends kept telling Kristin how well Ryan and her would get along. Kristin just was unsure how well that would all work because she just met these people and she lived in WI and Ryan lived in CA. Two weeks after the trip, Kristin and Sandy (Ryan's mother), were still keeping in touch. It was then, that Sandy gave Kristin Ryan's phone number. Kristin thought about how much she enjoyed Ryan's parents and their friends and thought that their son had to be somewhat as much fun as them. So...she took a leap of faith and contacted him...and have been together ever since! Then, one month later in May, Kristin and Ryan decided it was time to meet to see where this relationship could go. Kristin flew out to CA for a weekend to meet Ryan. Kristin's family and close friends were a little skepticle but she had a great feeling and was confident in this decision. Kristin then met Ryan's whole family even before meeting him! We hit it off this first time we met and knew we had something special. We both knew this was going to turn into a great relationship. It was 6 months later that Kristin moved out to CA, in November 2016, to continue writing our love story... Then, November 10th, 2018, Ryan got down on one knee to ask Kristin to be his forever. She said YES! We are getting our fairytale ending! It has been a fairytale from the begining, and we cannot wait to celebrate our love story and this new chapter with all of our family and friends!
